Prince Harry received a heartfelt gift at The Invictus Games in Canada as a gesture of appreciation for his dedication to former servicemen and women.
Now 40, the Duke of Sussex accepted a bracelet inscribed with the words ‘whoever saves one life saves the world’—a subtle homage to the prince’s own creation, The Invictus Games , which he launched in 2014 aimed at assisting global veterans in their recovery and support. The touching piece of jewelry was presented to Prince Harry by Olga Rudnieva, the CEO of Superhumans, a Ukrainian rehabilitation center for both adults and children.
Chatting with Hello magazine, Olga shared: “We had a very good conversation with him because we need to learn a lot from other countries, and we gave him a tee-shirt and a bracelet that says, ‘Whoever saves one life saves the world.”

She elaborated, expressing Ukraine’s deep gratitude: “We are from Ukraine, and he has been supporting the Ukrainian team here, and all Ukrainians have seen that and people are very, very overwhelmed.”
It was important for Olga that Harry understood Ukraine’s recognition of his support.
Harry was present throughout the eventful tournament, stationed in Canada for the duration of The Invictus Games, which spans from Feb. 8 to Feb. 16 and features adaptive sports for servicemen and women. Accompanying her spouse for the opening days, Meghan Markle, who is 43, stood by Harry’s side during the early phase of the games.
Harry received not only a meaningful bracelet but has also been repeatedly informed about the lifesaving impact of the event and foundation. In an affectionate Instagram post, his efforts and influence were highlighted by Meghan, who returned to California before the event concluded to look after the couple’s two kids – five-year-old Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet.
She expressed on Feb. 14: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families.”
She added with admiration, “Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.”
